I'm Going Slightly Mad-Elton John & Ronan Keating

Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John

I'm one card short of a full deck

I'm not quite the shilling

One wave short of a shipwreck

I'm not my usual top billing



I'm coming down with a fever (oooohh)

I'm really out to sea

This kettle is boiling over (ooooh, oooh, oooh)

I think I'm a banana tree (oooh, ooh)

Oh dear



I'm going slightly mad

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened, happened

It finally happened, uh, huh

It finally happened, I'm slightly mad

Oh dear



Ooh-ooh, ah-ah

Ooh-ooh, ah-ah



I'm knitting with only one needle

Unravelling fast its true

I'm driving only three wheels these days

But my dear how about you



I'm going slightly mad

I'm going slightly mad

It finally happened

It finally happened, oh, yes

It finally happened

I'm slightly mad

Just very slightly mad

And there you have it



Oh, yeah

Thank you very much, Ronan Keating.

I'm Going Slightly Mad

Elton John's 'I'm Going Slightly Mad' stands as a poignant exploration of emotional volatility and the fragility of relationships. Often associated with his later career and collaborations, the track reflects the artist's continued ability to dissect complex human feelings through his signature piano-driven melodies. While the song lacks a specific album title in public records, it aligns with John's broader discography of introspective ballads that examine the turbulence of love and the inevitable weariness that accompanies it. The recording captures the raw vulnerability characteristic of John's songwriting, offering a moment of quiet intensity that resonates with listeners who have experienced the strain of holding onto a fading connection. It serves as a testament to his enduring capacity to translate personal turmoil into universal musical expression.
